In November of 2024, Colorado created a 6.5% state excise tax to be paid by vendors on the sale of firearms, ammunition, and firearm precursor parts to consumers located in Colorado. The excise tax does not apply to wholesale sales or sales to peace officers, active-duty U.S. military personnel, and law enforcement. The provisions of “Proposition KK” are codified at Colo. Rev.

Seattle passed a firearm and bullet tax a few years ago (.2 cents a round on 22 ammo and 5 cents a round everything else and 25 bucks on firearms. Then it spread to Tacoma and now they are pushing for the whole state.

It was challenged however the state courts upheld it. So that’s the President Colorado will use and it will have to be a federal deal which at current rates will take 10-15 years.

So this is nothing new

I’d presume he disagrees with the Military and LE folks having an exemption.
What’s usually in those bills is it might mention a Military or LE exemption however that’s not for individual members it’s for units and agencies not sure without getting in the weeds. They do sneaky wording to get masses to agree!

Yep, scary stuff there. Do we want every facet of our lives controlled by government? I do not. Some people don't care as long as they get their weed, free food, gub'mint housing, etc.
